Roans

Roan is mixture of white and colored hairs.

The colored hairs are usually found in solid patches or clumps, whereas the white areas are usually flecked or 'ticked' with the solid color.

The roan colors are blue roan (light blue and dark blue), chocolate (or liver) roan, orange roan, red roan, and lemon roan.

Parti-colors

The parti-colors usually consist of two colors, for example you often see orange and white, lemon and white, chocolate (or liver) and white, and the black and white Cocker Spaniel.

Or, in the case of the tricolour, black, white and tan.

Ticking

Ticking is a term used when there are small flecks of color showing in the white of the dog's coat.

Open Marked

The term "open marked" is used where there is no ticking or roan markings in the dog's coat, instead the coat will have clear white between the colored patches.

You'll also find dogs with tan markings on their face, (above the eyebrows and on the muzzle) under their tails, on their feet, and on their chest. Where the dog's coat is predominantly black, his colouring would be termed black and tan.

Golden Cocker Spaniels 

Watercolour of Max, our golden Cocker Spaniel - I love it!

This beautiful watercolor of Max was commissioned for my birthday by my husband, Don (very sweet!). Max was about 12 months old at the time and I think it's an absolutely gorgeous likeness and I love it!

Come on, I'm waiting!

The cute looking Cocker Spaniel in the above photograph is Max, at three and a half years old.... - he's such a sweetie - 

Golden Cocker Spaniel puppy on patrol!

The above puppy is Max patrolling his garden to make sure next door's cat stays in his own garden! Max is almost 6 years old now - I don't know where the time went?

Puppy days are very special. Like our youth, they'll never come around again so make sure you and your puppy enjoy those special times while you still can - appreciate every single day you have together.

Just look at that appealing little face!

Max is still a puppy in this picture, although a few months older. He'd gone looking for some shade as it was a very hot day - extremely unusual for our neck of the woods!

Max at six days old! My golden Cocker Spaniel baby is so cute!

The above picture was taken at the breeders when he was less than one week old - he was so cute!
